| '''Albatosses''' are bird enemies that appear in ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'' and its {{wp|Western world|Western}} counterpart, ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. Some fly with [[Bob-omb]]s in their talons and drop them when a player character is below, though others simply fly forwards and can be used as platforms. The enemy's English name is a portmanteau of "{{wp|albatross}}" and "toss," which refers to its attack method. | | An '''Albatoss''' is a red bird found in the game ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. Their name is a portmanteau of the words "[[wikipedia:Albatross|albatross]]", a bird, and "toss", which refers to how they attack by dropping bob-ombs. |
| | |
| Their means of attack is invocative of {{wp|bomber}}s and their overall design is similar to large {{wp|bird of prey|birds of prey}} in the order {{wp|Accipitriformes}}, like eagles, hawks, and Old World vultures. Despite the lack of resemblance, ''[[Perfect Ban Mario Character Daijiten]]'' states that Albatosses are {{wp|pterosaur}}s (「翼竜」, ''Yokuryū'', lit. "wing dragon"), prehistoric flying reptiles that are unrelated to birds.<ref name=Daijiten>{{cite|publisher=Shogakukan|language=Japanese|date=1994|title=「パーフェクト版 マリオキャラクター大事典」 (''Perfect Ban Mario Character Daijiten'')|page=[https://i.imgur.com/hGbL9me.jpeg 140]}}</ref>

| In ''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'' and ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', Albatosses used to be normal residents of [[Subcon]] until [[Wart]] took control.<ref name="engmanual">{{cite|quote=He used to only be a resident in the world of dreams. Now, by order of Wart, he works as a carrier of Bob-Ombs.|title=''Super Mario Bros. 2'' instruction booklet|page=25|date=1988|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> Albatosses carry [[Bob-omb|Bob-Omb]]s and drop them, attempting to hit one of the playable characters: [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]], or [[Toad]]. An Albatoss can be defeated if the player's character throws a [[vegetable]] at it or touches it under the [[Super Star|Starman]] effects. Unlike most other enemies, Albatosses cannot be picked up and thrown. If an Albatoss flies low enough, the character can [[jump]] on its back and ride on it. [[World 6-2 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 6-2]] and [[World 7-1 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 7-1]] require the player's character to ride Albatosses to reach otherwise inaccessible parts of the [[level]]; these Albatosses do not carry Bob-Ombs. Albatosses are seen carrying Bob-Ombs in [[World 3-3 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 3-3]] and World 6-2, while in [[World 7-2 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 7-2]], the Bob-Ombs drop from behind the Albatosses the moment they appear on-screen. The Albatosses with Bob-Ombs in World 6-2 also fly faster than the others seen in the game.
| | Albatosses used to be normal residents of [[Subcon]] until [[Wart]] took control. Albatosses carry [[Bob-omb]]s and drop them against [[Mario]] and his allies. However, if an Albatoss flies low enough, Mario and his friends can [[jump]] on its back and ride on top of the bird. Unlike most of the other enemies in ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', Albatosses cannot be picked up and thrown. |
| | |
| In ''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'', Albatosses move at two frames, while in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', they move at seven frames; an eighth frame exists, showing the wings moving back upwards, but is unused due to a [[glitch]].<ref>{{cite|url=tcrf.net/Super_Mario_Bros._2_(NES)#Eighth_Animation_Frame|title=''Super Mario Bros. 2'' {{!}} TCRF article|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor}}</ref> The ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'' remakes restore the missing frame.

| An Alabatoss makes a cameo appearance in both the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' and ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' versions of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', where the [[kings|king]] of [[Sky Land|The Sky]] is turned into an Albatoss; in the original version, he is turned into a regular bird.
| | In the [[SNES]] and [[Game Boy Advance]] remakes of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', the King of [[Sky Land]] is turned into an Albatoss (in the original version, he is turned into a generic vulture). |

| | Albatosses made a few appearances in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]''. They were usually used as bombers by [[Bowser|King Koopa]] and they sometimes captured Mario and company in nets. Albatosses were also seen in the show's intro. |
| Albatosses make a few appearances in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' They are usually used as bombers by [[Bowser|King Koopa]], and they sometimes capture Mario and company in nets. Albatosses are also seen in the show's intro. In this show, they have a dark-brownish head, instead of matching their bodies' red color. | |
| | |
| The only episode where an Albatoss has a speaking role is "[[Jungle Fever]]," where Mario and his friends ride one to get off the bridge King Koopa sliced, only for it to get a [[Birdo's Egg|Birdo egg]] on its face. [[Koopa's rocket]] also slightly resembles the head of an Albatoss. Additionally, the character [[Hooded Robin]] somewhat resembles an Albatoss.

|
| |
|
| Albatosses are featured in the following episodes:
| | One Albatoss, [[Hooded Robin]], was the only enemy in the show who was actually nice to [[Mario]] and Co. This Albatoss also had a knack for mimicking others' voices to trick his enemies. |

| |
| An Albatoss, referred to as '''Evil Eagle''' appears in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]'' as the boss of {{iw|zeldawiki|Eagle's Tower}}, and is fought on top of the tower itself. It is ridden by the {{iw|zeldawiki|Grim Creeper}} and attacks by flying from side to side, occasionally swooping down or flapping its wings to simultaneously blow {{iw|zeldawiki|Link}} away and shoot feathers at him. Although Evil Eagle's official artwork depicts it as red and its body is given a red color palette in ''{{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX}}'', the [[Nintendo Switch]] remake instead gives it a white body color.
